It’ll Always Be Fun with Brooke and Miranda

In this week’s episode of the Holy NO! series, Brooke and Miranda explore a quiet but powerful moment in the life of Jesus: “But Jesus often withdrew to the wilderness for prayer.” — Luke 5:16 In the middle of growing crowds, rising expectations, and people constantly needing something from Him, Jesus didn’t pause to explain why He stepped away. He simply did what was necessary to stay connected t...

In this special Monday Minute, 10-year-old Lachlan shares from his own heart about something many kids (and adults) understand — the fear of being alone. Using Deuteronomy 31:6, he reminds us of God’s powerful promise: “He will never leave you nor forsake you.” When fear creeps in at night, when the house feels too quiet, or when life feels uncertain, it can be easy to forget that we’re never trul...

Forgiveness is one of the most beautiful commands Jesus gives us… but it’s also one of the most misunderstood. In this episode, Brooke and Miranda talk about the difference between forgiveness and access — and why releasing someone doesn’t always mean welcoming them back into the same space they once occupied. Using John 2:24, we look at the example of Jesus Himself, who loved people deeply, forga...

A year ago, we pressed record for the very first time. We didn’t have everything figured out. We didn’t know who would listen. We just knew we wanted to create a space where people could laugh, feel understood, and grow in their faith alongside us. And somehow… here we are. One year of showing up. One year of conversations that were sometimes light and sometimes really hard. One year of friendship...

In this powerful Monday Minute, Leah shares the story of Esther — a young woman placed in an unexpected position for a divine purpose. Facing fear, uncertainty, and enormous risk, Esther had a choice: stay safe or step forward in faith. Through Esther’s story, Leah reminds us that God often calls ordinary people into extraordinary moments. We may not feel ready. We may not feel brave. But obedienc...

Healing is beautiful. Growth is sacred. Forgiveness matters. But healing does not automatically mean someone gets continued access to your life. In this first episode of our Holy No series, we’re talking about the difference between personal healing and relational boundaries — and why those two things are often confused. So many of us have been taught that if we’ve grown, forgiven, or moved forwar...

This week on Monday Minute, Sarah Blankenship shares a powerful reminder from Galatians 6:9 — growth doesn’t happen faster just because we want it to. No amount of hovering, checking, or prodding will speed up the process. Some of the deepest work God does in our lives happens underground, where we can’t see it yet. Roots are forming. Strength is developing. Foundations are being established. If t...

Friendship in your 30s and 40s looks a little different than it did in middle school — and honestly? It’s deeper, messier, and more sacred. This week we’re joined by BFFs Alli Eastman and Hannah Curry to talk about the kind of friendship that survives sticky car seats, mental health days, busy seasons, and the ups and downs of real life. The kind where kids are loud, cars are messy, texts go unans...

Sarah Blankenship is back with us for this week’s Monday Minute, and she’s reminding us of something we so easily forget: the small things matter. In Luke 16:10, Jesus says, “Whoever is faithful in very little is also faithful in much.” And sometimes that “very little” looks like pulling weeds, washing dishes, folding laundry, tending a garden, feeding animals, or showing up for ordinary chores wh...

Our sweet friend Cayla Adkins is back to continue part two of her story — sharing how God has never left her side, even in the hardest seasons. She opens up about the courage it takes to reach out and ask for help, how faith, family, and friendships have carried her, and practical ways to accept support when it’s difficult. We also reflect on the truth that we are chosen and called (1 Peter 2:9) —...

In a world that praises hustle and glorifies burnout, it can feel like rest is something we have to earn. But God never asked us to carry life on our own shoulders. Our dear friend, Sarah Blankenship joins us for today’s Monday Minute, and she's talking about the truth that rest isn’t laziness—it’s obedience, trust, and wisdom. Rest is part of the work God is doing in us, because we were never mea...

What do you do when life doesn’t turn out the way you imagined—even when you’ve done the “right” things? In part one of this conversation, we sit down with our dear friend Cayla Adkins—a mom of four, a special needs mom, a special education teacher, a basketball coach, and a woman who has walked through divorce and seen the faithfulness of God firsthand. We talk honestly about the grief that can c...

Waiting can feel uncomfortable—especially when we’re tempted to push, fix, or force outcomes just to ease the tension. In this Monday Minute, we talk about the difference between faithful waiting and anxious striving, and how trust sometimes looks like restraint. Psalm 27:14 encourages us to wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Waiting isn’t passive or powerless—it’s...

⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussion of child loss. Please take care of your heart as you listen. In Part Two with the incredible Miss Deb, we’re continuing the conversation on vision—and how to make it plain so you can actually live it out. From a powerful Steve Harvey story (yes… the “300 things list” 👀) to the kind of truth that hits you right in the chest, Miss Deb reminds us...

Spiritual growth isn’t only about what we believe—it’s also about how we remain present, calm, and grounded when life feels overwhelming. In this Monday Minute, we talk about how staying regulated isn’t weakness or avoidance; it’s deeply spiritual work. Psalm 46:10 invites us to be still and know that I am God. That stillness isn’t passive—it’s an intentional practice of trust. Choosing to slow yo...

This week, we are honored to welcome Deb Adkins to It’ll Always Be Fun! for a powerful and hope-filled conversation about vision, faith, and persevering through hard seasons. Drawing from Habakkuk 2:2, Deb shares what it means to write the vision and make it plain—even when life doesn’t look anything like what you hoped for. With honesty and grace, she talks about walking through deep loss, trusti...

Changing your mind doesn’t mean you failed, lacked faith, or heard God wrong. Sometimes it simply means you’re growing. In this Monday Minute, we talk about the freedom to pivot, reassess, and choose a new direction without shame. Proverbs 4:18 reminds us that the path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day. As the light increases, clarity increa...

We’re so often tempted to treat new seasons like revolutions—big declarations, dramatic changes, and pressure to reinvent everything all at once. But what if growth doesn’t require a complete overhaul? What if it starts with something softer? In this episode, we talk about resetting and recentering—not by burning everything down, but by gently returning to what matters most. We explore the idea of...

We’re often drawn to moments that feel big, loud, and emotionally charged—but a faithful life isn’t built on intensity alone. In this Monday Minute, we talk about choosing stability over emotional highs and learning to value the quiet strength of consistency. Scripture reminds us in 1 Corinthians 14:33 that God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. That peace is often found not in chaos or extr...

We can’t quite believe it’s already been ten months. In this episode, we take time to look back on some of our favorite moments from the past ten months—the laughter, the growth, the unexpected turns, and the ways God has shown up in quiet and faithful ways. We talk honestly about how surreal it feels to mark this milestone, reflect on what this season has meant to us, and share our hopes as we st...

So many of us live as if rest is something we have to deserve—after the work is done, the expectations are met, and everyone else is taken care of. But Jesus invites us into something radically different. In Matthew 11:28, He doesn’t call the strong or the put-together—He calls the weary, the burdened, and the worn out. In this Monday Minute, we talk about the kind of rest that isn’t earned throug...

Elizabeth doesn’t get nearly enough credit in the Christmas story. While Mary is carrying the miracle, Elizabeth is the one who sees it, celebrates it, and speaks life over it. In this episode, we talk about Elizabeth as the original hype girl—the woman who recognized God at work and wasn’t afraid to rejoice out loud. We also talk about how different seasons of life can make us feel left out, over...

This Christmas, we’re letting our kids tell the story. From ages 10 to 19, they read Luke 2 and remind us that the heart of Christmas doesn’t fade as we grow older—it deepens. There’s something powerful about hearing the familiar words of Scripture spoken by voices still learning, growing, and believing. No commentary. No extras. Just the Christmas story read with sincerity, reverence, and quiet j...

Hope doesn’t always arrive with fireworks or instant answers. Sometimes it comes softly—almost unnoticed—while we’re still sitting in the dark. In this Monday Minute, we reflect on Isaiah’s promise that light shines even when the way forward feels unclear. If you’ve been waiting, weary, or wondering where God is at work, this short encouragement is a reminder that His hope is steady, faithful, and...

In week three of our Christmas series, Brooke and Miranda pause to reflect on Mary — a humble servant whose strength was anything but loud. We talk about the kind of courage it takes to say “yes” when the future is uncertain, the strength required to carry a calling no one else can fully understand, and the beauty of trusting God in quiet, unseen ways. When angels appeared to the shepherds, the go...
